I consider that this<br>\nlow-value attempt to demote such relationships is based on either<br>\njealousy of those who have a relationship with a Western partner,<br>\nor a consideration that such a relationship is not every bit as<br>\nloving and caring as any other relationship in the world.<\/p>\n<p>I think that anyone who is educated would not write such<br>\nnonsense simply because of an apparently single negative<br>\nimpression. That is not fair on Asian women with a Western<br>\nhusband or partner.<\/p>\n<p>MARTHA BOOTHBY<\/p>\n<p>Jakarta<\/p>",
